Orthopedic & Trauma Rehabilitation
Specialized Care to Help You Rebuild, Recover and Return to Life
A serious injury or surgery can change your life in an instant – but at Bryan Inpatient Rehabilitation, we help you regain strength, mobility and confidence to move forward. As Lincoln’s leading trauma hospital, our inpatient program supports people recovering from orthopedic surgeries, fractures, multiple traumas or complex musculoskeletal injuries.
Because we’re part of an integrated medical system, you benefit from a full continuum of care – from trauma response or surgery to inpatient therapy, outpatient rehab and long-term recovery planning. That means your care team communicates, your treatment stays on track and you’re supported every step of the way.
Whether your recovery follows an accident, work-related injury or planned procedure, our experienced team is here to guide you. We focus not just on healing the body, but on helping you regain independence and return home safely. In fact, more than 82% of our patients are discharged directly home, exceeding both regional and national averages.
